General Notes: Husband - Warley J. Gifford


He was born in Keating township, McKean County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public school, continuing until of sufficient age and attainment to become himself a teacher. He only taught, however, two terms in McKean County, but in 1873 entered the employ of Henry Hamlin in his store. In 1879 he purchased from Mr. Hamlin his Smethport store, in partnership with Mr. Haskell, and continued two years, when he sold his interest and retired from the firm. He then formed a partnership with C. S. King, and until 1884 was engaged with him in mercantile business. In the latter year he became a partner with his brother Seth in the lumber business, continuing successfully until 1906. After the latter date he was engaged in the manufacture and sale of window glass. He was a director of the Tuna Glass Company, of Clarksburg, West Virginia, and of the Oswayo Chemical Company, having interests in other enterprises of a minor nature. He was a lifelong Democrat, and gave freely of his time and ability to the public service. He was commissioner of McKean County one year, by appointment of the government to fill a vacancy; chief burgess of Smethport one term, borough councilman two terms, and borough auditor several terms. His fraternal orders were: the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of Smethport; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Morgantown, West Virginia; and his clubs: the Central, of Smethport, and the Merchants, of Bradford. In religious faith he was a member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
